About Testosterone Testing in Santa Cruz
Testosterone is a steroid hormone produced primarily in the testes in men and in the ovaries and adrenal glands in women.
Testosterone testing typically involves a blood draw, usually from a vein in the arm. Because testosterone levels fluctuate throughout the day, samples are often collected in the morning when concentrations tend to be highest.
The test may measure total testosterone, which includes hormone bound to proteins and hormone that is free, or free testosterone, which reflects the unbound fraction. Some panels also include sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) to help interpret the results.
Results are generally reported within one to three business days. Reference ranges vary by laboratory, age, and sex, so results should be interpreted by a healthcare provider in the context of symptoms and medical history.
